Whats In A Colour?

Dark brindles always seem too catch my eye not sure why

merles are always cleverer,blacks more prey driven

Then I need a black merle...!!

Never been one for white or coloured but at the end of the day beauty is as beauty does.

As an aside dilutes show more skin problems, eczema, ie blues, silvers etc. Nice black or brindle but

 

in the end they all end up silver.

Obviously,.."colour in a working dog means nowt".....but,..all things being equal,...we all have our preferances.

 

I have always been attracted to the herding dog composites,..they are rarely show stoppers,..but I just like them..

 

My family bred several sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs,...we schooled them and worked them,.. and sold off the surplus...

 

Nowadays, I prefer to keep Merle coloured animals,..we had some nice quiet Merle collies on our place when I was a kid,..and I have always found the variety of colours exhibited by these strange looking critters,.... totaly absorbing...

Must admit, when picking a pup I look at the breeding and temperament, and the colour is secondary............

I let the pup pick me, regardless of colour

Temperament always comes first, but, Black and White collie marked dogs always do it for me.

Colour makes no diffrence got 3 diffrent colour lurchers my blue pup I didnt pick was last one avaliable for a well bred little was just happy to get my hands on her and my second pup was also well bred all the pups were well looked after so let the misses decide I do prefer black terriers though

[paulus 26]

any colour as long asits brindle

[scothunter 12,609]

It dont matter a jot really,its just a preference if you go for a certain colour.there was a lot of greyhound men,who wouldnt own a blue dog.and i have to admit i avoided ever having one,by listening to them..wonder if i ever passed up on owning a right good dog by being swayed listening to thier bullshit lol

have to say some of the fastest greyhounds i ever owned were black,and the right fast ones were always bitches.Think you get a truer run from a bitch.
